CLASS POLICIES • Class notes (in PPT), syllabus, homework assignments, MATLAB programs, announcements, and other related materials can be accessed on the WWW at the address: http://web.mst.edu/~ercal/228/228.html Make sure that you regularly check this address for announcements and course related materials. • Students are expected to attend all classes unless they have a reasonable excuse for being absent. There will be pop-op quizzes to check for attendance. Students who have poor performance and their advisors will be notified through the Academic Alert System (http://academicalert.mst.edu/). • When in class, you are expected to turn off all pagers, phones, and beepers. • It is assumed that you have taken Calculus II and an introductory computer programming class as prerequisites. • Projects and homeworks must be an individual effort unless stated otherwise. Page 30 of the S & T Student Academic Regulations handbook (http://registrar.mst.edu/academicregs/index.html) describes the student standard of conduct relative to the System’s Collected Rules and Regulations section 200.010, and offers descriptions of academic dishonesty including cheating, plagiarism or sabotage. • Any student inquiring about academic accommodations because of a disability will be referred to Disability Support Services (http://dss.mst.edu/) so that appropriate and reasonable accommodative services can be determined and recommended. • No late homework or project will be accepted. If you are unable to turn in an assignment on time, you must notify me one class before the deadline. GRADING: 3 Tests (~600 points), 3 assignments (~340 points), 2 quizzes (~40 points) Letter grades will be assigned as follows: A (≥88%), B (≥75%), C (≥60%), D (≥45%), F (
